@dlarsen: "After 15 years I'm getting back into bicycling on my old Miyata.  I've got
new tires and tubes, new brake pads and brake handle covers ordered.
Found black cotton handlebar tape too.
Now I just need to find a source for regular half-finger gloves made of
leather with a crocheted cotton back.  No lycra, no gel, no foam, no terry
cloth.  Cannondale apparently no longer makes the ones I used to buy.
Anyone have a source?"

Wal-Mart or any of the cheap "sporting goods" stores will have them.
Although why on earth you would want black cotton handlebar tape, I have no
idea. There has been progress in the last 15 years. I suspect you'll find
that out by yourself in a while, though.

I ordered these. They seem to be a good value at about $9.50? but realize
that the palms are not pure leather.  They have foam sandwiched between two
thin layers of leather.
